1st of all I hope this Spec class thing doesn't take off. It adds more classes, diluting the pool and creates a one off ruleset. What happens when participation numbers for the spec class drop because everyone has moved on to the next greatest thing?

Open camber bolt rules would be a preferable in between too,

^This! I think any mod that improves tire wear and improves reliability on the track without impacting performance should be allowed in Street. I think street classes should allow camber bolts on one side of the car. Like the 1 sway bar rule. I'm getting sick of constantly flipping tires. The cost of camber bolts would more than cover the cost of mounting and remounting tires.
Eg: Oil coolers, larger than stock oil pans, brake cooler ducts, should be allowed in street, IMHO.
I'm still kind of bitter the camber adjustment rule didn't make it into street when they decided to move everything from stock. If there is anything that needs more camber, it street cars on stock suspension with sticky tires.

If you look at class participation at nationals they have several street classes that are overly represented vs. the others.

I agree adding a stock class makes more sense than adding a spec class. Spread the cars out by performance in those classes. It's logical and it makes sense.
